Can you believe we made it this long without doing an episode answering a question this basic? I mean, yeah, sure, I cover it a little in episode one — but after running across something online, I realized I really wanted to do something more complete on the matter. So that’s the question we’re answering this month.

Mostly.

Sort of.

You’ll find out.

And remember, if you want to get questions in for this year’s Q&A/Feedback episode, send them in before July 15th here!

Burnout is something that every witch will likely experience in their lives, and it’s just something we sort of have to deal with. So, in this episode, that’s what we’re talking about. And it’s mostly because, uh, a certain someone is currently burned out beyond all belief.

BS-Free Witchcraft - 3. The History of Wicca

3. The History of Wicca

10/06/18 • 20 min

On this episode Trae digs deep into the history of Wicca, and tries to give the most accurate history of the religion as they can. I mean, yeah, we know this is a general Witchcraft podcast, but Wicca is the most widely practiced form of Witchcraft in the US, UK, Canada and Australia... so how it got started is kind of important for the modern Witchcraft movement.

And trust me, there aren’t any pulled punches here.

BS-Free Witchcraft - 7. Be Ridiculous

7. Be Ridiculous

BS-Free Witchcraft

play

01/26/19 • 31 min

On this episode of the podcast, the topic is the importance of accepting that we’re all ridiculous human beings and that’s it’s a good thing. Witchcraft should be done with a sense of play, and we should all keep that in mind before we take ourselves too seriously. Because when we take ourselves too seriously, none of us are remotely pleasant to be around. Doing witchcraft by rote isn’t the best idea, gatekeeping is bad, and there’s probably not a wrong way to do a spell. Unless you like light yourself on fire or something.

Try not to do that.

BS-Free Witchcraft - 43. “Lilith”

43. “Lilith”

BS-Free Witchcraft

play

01/29/22 • -1 min

As long as I can remember, people have been debating whether or not it’s okay for non-Jewish witches to incorporate Lilith into their practices. Is Lilith closed? Is it cultural appropriation? There’s so much misinformation in new age and poorly written witchcraft books on Lilith, it’s hard for some witches to get a clear picture. Like I’ve run into folks on social media talking about Lilith as a “Goddess,” which she very much isn’t. Let’s dive into the origins of the folklore surrounding this figure, and I’ll let you decide whether or not it’s okay to work with Lilith.

But, uh, spoiler – I don’t think you should.

(Also at one point I misspeak and say 600CE instead of 600BCE, but you get what I’m saying.)

It’s July, and that means we’re doing another Q&A special where I answer questions from listeners like you. And this year I remembered to record it before I hid in a cabin for a week!

On this episode we’re talking about the general tone of witchcraft discourse on social media, including Tumblr and TikTok. Is Witchtok the actual problem in our community, or is it just that the short form video format eliminates any possibility of nuance?

On this month’s episode of BS-Free Witchcraft we’re talking about political witchcraft. Should your witchcraft be political? What’s the history of the modern witchcraft movement and political action? Should your political action end with your witchcraft?

For that last one... the answer is no. It’s a definite and clear no.

On this episode of BS-Free Witchcraft it’s finally come time for an episode on crystals. Yep, almost three and a half years into this witchcraft podcast, and we’re finally going to talk about the shiny rocks we all like to hoard. But here’s the thing — this might not be the episode you expect, because there’s a dark side to crystals. A dark side we all need to deal with and be aware of.

The entire second half of this episode is a content warning.
